In the editorial of last Saturday, headed. "Railroad Legislation," the following mistake occurred: In- stead of "'They are necessary evils," it should have been "These are ne- cessary evils," referring to powers and privileges of railroads, and not to railroads themselves.

We had attended many church fairs, some of them real big ones, but last Sunday was the first time that we had the pleasure of being present at one of Father LaForest's fairs. The beloved pastor of the Carencro Catholic church is well known for his public spirit and seal, and to his indefatigable energy is due much of the success of the fair and entertainment of last Sunday. It was through his well-directed efforts that an excursion train was run from Houma, bringing to Cat- encro six or seven hundred people, mostly from the towns of Thibo- daux, Houma and Chacahoula. We believe this is the first time that Carencro had so many strangers within her gates, but judging from the way the hundreds of guests were taken care of, one would think that Careacro was an -'old hand" at re- ceiving and entertaining large crowds of people. At about 1s o'clock the train, consisting of six coaches, full of people, arrived and stopped oppo- site the fair grounds. The tables, booths, flags and decorations were placed in a position to meet the view of the excursionists immedi- ately upon their arrival. The excursionists lost no time in getting off from the train and soon wended their way -toward the place where the preparations had been made for their reception. Just at this time it began to rain, but thanks to the foresight of Father LaForest a sufficient number of tents had been erected to afford shelter to all. Fortunately the rain did not con- tinue and in the latter part of the afternoon the weather was clearer and nothing else happened to mar the pleasure of the day. Lovers of the national game had ample opportunity to indulge in their favorite pastime as several in- teresting games of base ball were played, the principal one being be- tween the boys from Carencro bridge and a nine from this town. In justice to the latter we must say that they were out of practice, this being their first game this season. Here is the score. CARENCRO J. Darhy, o a a0 E.Lacour, , o a I t J. Meche, o o o o o.

By this time, our boys were beginning to feel like playing ball and they "wiped the earth "with the Chacahoulians. The concert was commenced at 3 o'clock and was a very creditable affair from begining So end. The children of the parochial school under the efficient management of Miss Madeleine Melchoir, did ad- mirably well. The calisthenic ex- ercises showed careful training, and too much praise can not be bestowed upon Miss Florina Grenier for this pleasing feature of the entertain- ment. "La Fete de Carencro," a song, was well rendered by Miss Melchoir's pupils. It elicited merited applause and made a de- cided hit. Miss Sara Brown's sing- ing was so well received that she was compelled to favor the audience with an encore. The others on the program, which follows, filled their parts well.

Thee ice-crea.m aud lemnonade tables, with the yotung lady l in' approptrite costume as ,Rebecca at the Well" was also very well ar- ranged The post-office was exceedingly neat and showed much taste. The latest approved way in which the special delivery system was managed by the young ladies would put to shame Uncle Sam's -most expe- Sienced employes. The dinner tables were well kept. A good, substantial meal was sold for a reasonable price, and we don't think any one can reasonably com- plain of this part of the fair. There was plenty. of music. The Scott, Landry and Thibodeaux bands discoursed sweet music during the whole day. At about six o'clock the guests made their way toward the train which was getting ready to leave If we may judge by the gay faces of the crowd, they were perfectly satisfied with their visit to Carencro. The Gazette congratulates Father Laforest and the people on the splendid reception they have ex- tended to their guests. We dare say that in the future there'will be no difficult in getting a crowd to visit Carencro. The proceeds of the fair, amount- ing to $75o net, will be added to the church fund. The Sheriffs. Sheriff Broussard has received the following letter which is self-ex- planatory: AUSTIN, TEXAS, June, 26, 1894. Dear Sir:-The Sheriffs' Association of Texas will meet in annual session at Paris, Texas on July Io, 1894. The Sheriffs of your State are cordially invited to attend our meeting. If you have any organization in your State we would be pleased to have a delegation from it in attendance. Our purpose is to take steps to form a National Organization. Please give this such publicity as will attract the attention of the Sheriffs of your State. Yours Truly. JSo. P. KIast Secretary Sheriffs' Association of Texas. Sambo's Weakness for Water- Melons. Quite an interesting fisticuff took place Tuesday evening near the postoffice, with Joe Camara, the fruit dealer at the corner, and the notorious young negro named Wil- liam, as principals, and Camara's wife and Joe Crapo, as accessories It appears that Williams, who is always doing some mischief, was engaged in counter-marking the water-melons which Camara keeps for sale. This Camara objected to and landed his right fist against Williams' ribs. The two men grap- pled and a hot fight followed. Some witnesses testified that Cam- ara's wife and his brother in-law, Joe Crapo, came to his rescue, while others denied this statement. The next morning Camara, Crapo and WVilliatns -appeared before the mayor, who discharged Crapo, fined Camtara $2.5o and cost, and gave the negro $10o.oo or 2o days on the street. A Good Showing. The Gazette compliments its young friend, Charles DeBaillon, upon his creditable showing at the closing exercises and distribution of premiums of the Jesuits' College in New Orleans last Monday. His name figures on the roll of honor for deportment and application to study. He has received first prem- iums in English, History, Geogra- phy; second premiums in examina- tion, Excellence, Arithmetic, and in Book-keeping he is marked "*dis- tinguished." Charley will enter the superior commercial class next sesa- sion. Electric Bitters. This remedy is becoming so well known and so popular as to need no special men- tion. All who have used Electric Bitters sing the same sang of praise.-A purer medicine does not exist and it is guaranteed to do all that is claimed.

Mteetinglg li Meld at the Cosft. umse-O-iegre are Elected sad the Work e' On, According to the annountiement in last week's Gazette about seV- enty-five ladies and twentyfive gentlemen met at the court house last Wednesday evening for the purpose of effecting an organization whose mission will be to raise funds to procure fire protection for this town. This meeting was by the ladies, and for the ladies. The gentlemen present were asked to come, but it was understood that they were to be silent spectators to the proceeding without having any voice in the election of officers, etc. The men folk were simply "not in it." By request Hon. Win. Campbell addressed the assemblage explaining the purpose of the meeting and the object of the proposed organization. At the conclusion of Mr. Campbell's remarks, the ladies psoceeded to organize and the following officers were unanimously elected: presi- dent, Mrs. Columbus Eastin; vice-president, Mrs. Jno. O. Mon- tonf secretary, Mrs. H. Billaud; treasurer, Mrs. Jules Revillon. After some discussion of the future action of the organization, and an exchange of ideas, it was decided to adjourn. The neat meeting will be held to-day at the home of Mrs. Columbus Eastin. As a full attendance is desired all the ladies are requested to be pres- ent. The Teachers. The session of the Teachers' In- stitute closed last night. It was commenced Monday at Falk's Op- era House holding two meetings every day during the week. The lecturers were Profs. C. C. Harris of :Montgomery, R. S. Himes of the State Normal at Natchitoches. and R. G. Ferguson of New Iberia, all of whom handled the different educational topics with great ability. Night sessions were held Thursday and Friday. The following were in attendance: Misses Amita Verrier of New Ibeaia, Bernadette Dupre Opelousas, Mrs. E. W. Glenn Carencf, Misses.

An Answer to Little Hatchet. To The Lafayette Gazette: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to comment on what "Little Hatchet" said last week, not that I put myself up for a "right thinking man," for, doubtless, "Little Hatchet" meant by that, some one who would pat him on the back. This I cannot do. In fact I.feel called upon, to rub him the other way. Now -*Little Hatchet." will yon please tell us what you mean by some at your expressions. What do you mean by 'appreciate the Sunday law?" If you mean that you want to see the Sunday law enforced, when it does not inconvenience you, I think you are correct, but, If you mean that ymr and all yeor w iigh- eors do want to see the law enforced to the letter you are wrong for there is scarcely a Sunday that some of your neighbors do not come to me to break the law for their con- venience and a large number of them have spoken in favor of the law being amended so country stores can sell goods on Sunday. You do not think that "Mr. Mouton meant that." Please tell me what you mean by "that." Is it that Mr. Mouton meant that "we are better than God" or that the law should be repealed. I, "Dull Axe," am strongly in favor of Mr. Mouton's Sunday law bill, and also of his school and railroad bills, and, I "tell you, PNet," he is the right man, .in the right place, without any "changing up" or "changig down," and as long as he keeps the stand he has taken he is sure of the support of all men who are lovera of justice and who do not want the Legisature gov- erned by egotism, fanatclm and despotism. "If these parties who violate the law are properly put befoie court," but that is inm- possible. If all who have violated the law were put there, who would be left ? Would you, Mr. "Little Hatchet." Because I am not in favor of the Sunday law you mast not think, I am not in ,favor of making Sunday a quiet day. I want every man to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and I think it right for every man to respect the feelings of his neighbor enough to forego making any unnecessary noaise near a house of wor- ship when service is being held there whether on Sunday oron mny other day. If I can worship my God, selling oo buying cattle of plowing cotton on Sunday, whose business ilit ? Certainly not yours. That looks to me to be between mysclf and my God. I do not cosidiCt myself better than God, as you intinate: far from it. I have always lo.,kcd upon man as the last and pmcrest of CoV' Ihandiwnork. an1:t g-•,lgin, from the 4th chapter of "(enesi , (;lod thoug'lt O ton.

A DAY OP PLEASURm.tom- 1s of the w .ouenalve' aWs of Cresero EntertsailnedSevein Husdred Ezeunraionlts

From Thibodau Houmanand other plee...

We had attended many churchfairs, some of them real big ones,but last Sunday was the first timethat we had the pleasure of beingpresent at one of Father LaForest'sfairs. The beloved pastor of theCarencro Catholic church is wellknown for his public spirit and seal,and to his indefatigable energy isdue much of the success of the fairand entertainment of last Sunday.It was through his well-directedefforts that an excursion train wasrun from Houma, bringing to Cat-encro six or seven hundred people,mostly from the towns of Thibo-daux, Houma and Chacahoula.We believe this is the first timethat Carencro had so many strangerswithin her gates, but judging fromthe way the hundreds of guests weretaken care of, one would think thatCareacro was an -'old hand" at re-ceiving and entertaining largecrowds of people.

At about 1s o'clock the train,consisting of six coaches, full ofpeople, arrived and stopped oppo-site the fair grounds. The tables,booths, flags and decorations wereplaced in a position to meet theview of the excursionists immedi-ately upon their arrival.

The excursionists lost no time ingetting off from the train and soonwended their way -toward the placewhere the preparations had beenmade for their reception. Just atthis time it began to rain, but thanksto the foresight of Father LaForesta sufficient number of tents hadbeen erected to afford shelter to all.Fortunately the rain did not con-tinue and in the latter part of theafternoon the weather was clearerand nothing else happened to marthe pleasure of the day.

Lovers of the national game hadample opportunity to indulge intheir favorite pastime as several in-teresting games of base ball wereplayed, the principal one being be-tween the boys from Carencrobridge and a nine from this town.In justice to the latter we must saythat they were out of practice, thisbeing their first game this season.Here is the score.

The next game was played by theLafayette boys against those ofChacahoula. By this time, ourboys were beginning to feel likeplaying ball and they "wiped theearth "with the Chacahoulians.

The concert was commenced at

3 o'clock and was a very creditableaffair from begining So end. Thechildren of the parochial schoolunder the efficient management ofMiss Madeleine Melchoir, did ad-mirably well. The calisthenic ex-ercises showed careful training, andtoo much praise can not be bestowedupon Miss Florina Grenier for thispleasing feature of the entertain-ment. "La Fete de Carencro," asong, was well rendered by MissMelchoir's pupils. It elicitedmerited applause and made a de-cided hit. Miss Sara Brown's sing-ing was so well received that shewas compelled to favor the audiencewith an encore.

The post-office was exceedinglyneat and showed much taste. Thelatest approved way in which thespecial delivery system was managedby the young ladies would put toshame Uncle Sam's -most expe-Sienced employes.

The dinner tables were well kept.A good, substantial meal was soldfor a reasonable price, and we don'tthink any one can reasonably com-plain of this part of the fair.

There was plenty. of music. TheScott, Landry and Thibodeauxbands discoursed sweet music duringthe whole day.

At about six o'clock the guestsmade their way toward the trainwhich was getting ready to leaveIf we may judge by the gay facesof the crowd, they were perfectlysatisfied with their visit to Carencro.

The Gazette congratulates FatherLaforest and the people on thesplendid reception they have ex-tended to their guests. We daresay that in the future there'will beno difficult in getting a crowd tovisit Carencro.

The proceeds of the fair, amount-ing to $75o net, will be added tothe church fund.

Sambo's Weakness for Water-Melons.

Quite an interesting fisticuff tookplace Tuesday evening near thepostoffice, with Joe Camara, thefruit dealer at the corner, and thenotorious young negro named Wil-liam, as principals, and Camara'swife and Joe Crapo, as accessoriesIt appears that Williams, who isalways doing some mischief, wasengaged in counter-marking thewater-melons which Camara keepsfor sale. This Camara objected toand landed his right fist againstWilliams' ribs. The two men grap-pled and a hot fight followed.Some witnesses testified that Cam-ara's wife and his brother in-law,Joe Crapo, came to his rescue,while others denied this statement.The next morning Camara, Crapoand WVilliatns -appeared before themayor, who discharged Crapo,fined Camtara $2.5o and cost, andgave the negro $10o.oo or 2o dayson the street.

An Answer to Little Hatchet.To The Lafayette Gazette:

Please allow me space in your valuablepaper to comment on what "Little Hatchet"said last week, not that I put myself up for a"right thinking man," for, doubtless,"Little Hatchet" meant by that, some onewho would pat him on the back. This Icannot do. In fact I.feel called upon, torub him the other way. Now -*LittleHatchet." will yon please tell us what youmean by some at your expressions. Whatdo you mean by 'appreciate the Sundaylaw?" If you mean that you want to seethe Sunday law enforced, when it does notinconvenience you, I think you are correct,but, If you mean that ymr and all yeor w iigh-

eors do want to see the law enforced to theletter you are wrong for there is scarcely aSunday that some of your neighbors do notcome to me to break the law for their con-venience and a large number of them havespoken in favor of the law being amendedso country stores can sell goods on Sunday.You do not think that "Mr. Mouton meantthat." Please tell me what you mean by"that." Is it that Mr. Mouton meant that"we are better than God" or that the lawshould be repealed.

I, "Dull Axe," am strongly in favor ofMr. Mouton's Sunday law bill, and also ofhis school and railroad bills, and, I "tellyou, PNet," he is the right man, .in theright place, without any "changing up" or"changig down," and as long as he keepsthe stand he has taken he is sure of thesupport of all men who are lovera of justiceand who do not want the Legisature gov-erned by egotism, fanatclm and despotism.

"If these parties who violate the law areproperly put befoie court," but that is inm-possible. If all who have violated the lawwere put there, who would be left ? Wouldyou, Mr. "Little Hatchet."

Because I am not in favor of the Sundaylaw you mast not think, I am not in ,favorof making Sunday a quiet day. I wantevery man to worship God according to thedictates of his own conscience, and I thinkit right for every man to respect the feelingsof his neighbor enough to forego makingany unnecessary noaise near a house of wor-ship when service is being held therewhether on Sunday oron mny other day. If Ican worship my God, selling oo buyingcattle of plowing cotton on Sunday, whosebusiness ilit ? Certainly not yours. Thatlooks to me to be between mysclf and myGod. I do not cosidiCt myself better thanGod, as you intinate: far from it. I havealways lo.,kcd upon man as the last andpmcrest of CoV' Ihandiwnork. an1:t g-•,lgin,from the 4th chapter of "(enesi , (;lodthoug'lt O ton. Vou are looking in the
